Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers New computer for Unix-based OS's -- need help deciding Post 302371533 by ollie200x on Sunday 15th of November 2009 01:18:49 PM

If I were you, i'd just go for an inexpensive $500 PC laptop with a decent sized hard drive for your partitions. As said above, Linux systems run great on pretty much anything, i've personally seen them run on Pentium 3's with no problem.

A PC is your best bet for sure, maybe a decade ago there'd have been alternatives but now the days of the Unix Workstation are pretty much over.

Good luck with whatever you decide on :)
